Red Hat has back-ported Areca fully series SAS and SATA RAID drivers into Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6

 
 

Taipei, Taiwan, November 16, 2007-- Areca Technology Corporation (ARECA), today announced that their SAS and SATA ll RAID driver has been integrated directly into the Red Hat 4.6 (and later), allowing future versions of RHEL operating systems to support Areca's entire family PCI-X and PCI-Express series of high performance SAS and SATA ll RAID controllers.

Areca drivers were officially merged in the 2.6.19 Kernel tree. Areca RAID controller drivers have been out Linux for a while already, it is actually irritating our customer that Red Hat does not provide included our driver. Our controllers perform even better than any other rival SATA raid card in the market. Customer current uses Areca cards running RHEL4.5 or previous version and updating a kernel is a pain since users also have to go through the extra step of manually building and installing the driver.

Now, after Red Hat has included a back ported patch Areca 2.6.19 driver on the update 1 releases of RHEL5 which bases on the kernel 2.6.18-53.e15. Today Red Hat once again has included a back ported patch Areca 2.6.19 driver into the update 6 releases of RHEL4 which bases on the kernel 2.6.9-67.EL. That means Areca fully series 4-, 8-, 12-, 16-, 24-port SAS and SATA RAID controller works on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6 without an additional driver for the kernel. Now, the operating systems from the following version beginning have included Areca PCI-X and PCI-Express 4-, 8-, 12-, 16-, 24-ports SAS and SATA RAID controller comes in their kernel.
